As timid Senate Republicans hide under the rug, Obamacare continues to implode.

Premiums are skyrocketing, insurers are vanishing from exchanges, and out-of-pocket costs (deductibles, co-pays, etc) are ravaging the groups O’care was supposed to help.

Despite the obvious, Republicans run scared, intimidated by lying Democrats and their sham-stream media masters who flood the airwaves with scaremongering and deceit.

If there’s any truth at all, it’s that the Obamacare lies and deceit will continue.

But, for the politicians scampering from media hammering, the first truth and priority is that they…first and foremost…fix their sights every day on one task – getting re-elected.

So, what to do?

Republicans are too afraid of optics to outright repeal a bad Obamacare law. In that regard, it’s time to accept reality, explain that Democrats impede a 60-vote necessity…

…and fall back on President Trump’s “let-it-die” concept.

The President, with his cabinet secretaries, can de-fang the mandates, stop funneling billions to the insurance companies, and modify the idiotic essential health benefits.

The Republican Congress can open up free-market concepts such as health savings accounts, catastrophic coverage and nation-wide competition to buy health plans.

Face facts – Democrats and their media bosses will never stop lying.

Neuter the restrictive aspects of Obamacare, and let it die.

Reuters: “Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s team is examining Manafort’s financial and real estate records in New York as well as his involvement in Ukrainian politics…”

We bold-faced ‘Ukrainian’ because there’s proof Hillary’s DNC campaign allies colluded with Ukrainians, as reported by the Politico in a January 2017 article.

If Mueller opened a door to a Ukrainian factor, Democrats just got included in the probe.

Maybe our call to fire Mueller was a little…hasty…no evidence of actual collusion on the part of the GOP, but evidence exists Democrats colluded. This could get interesting.

(Still doesn’t rise to the level of criminal behavior for anyone…but we can’t wait to see how Democrats and their media masters try to downplay this little turn of events.)

In any event, since the special counsel team is leaking details of their investigation, that news should give the President the ammo he needs to dismiss Mueller, if he chooses.

And our tongue-in-cheek comment of a call to fire Mueller being too hasty was a tease.

There’s no crime, no justification for special counsel, and that probe is leaking already…

…SHUT-IT-DOWN, Mr. President.

Fake News continues, trying to paint the President as thinking of pardoning himself.

No evidence has been revealed; no crime’s been committed; no pardon is necessary.

This is just the latest attempt to keep President Trump on defense, and to keep painting him as illegitimate so he won’t – or can’t – go after the only REAL criminals to date…

…Hillary, Lynch, Powers, Rice, Comey, and Obama…’cuz if and when that can of worms gets opened…the ‘pardon’ aspect will take on a whole new perspective.

And the anti-Trump saga continues, apace…

12 months after the Russia-colluding meme started, there has yet to be one SHRED of evidence to justify a Justice Dept investigation, but that doesn’t matter to these people.

The 28-CFR-600 statute states grounds for appointment of a Special Counsel, noting it’s justified when a criminal investigation of a person or matter is ‘warranted’.

Problem is an Obama-appointed official ‘warranted’ the investigation with no cause… unless it was warranted because of the Left’s anger that Donald Trump was elected.

Then there’s lots of cause…no proof, mind you…just lots of cause – anger.

Now, the ‘special counsel’ is going over decades of Trump business transactions, as if somehow anything done 10 years ago affected the campaign he ran last year…but…

• Don’t worry that there’s absolutely no evidence;
• Don’t worry that there’s nothing that warrants a special counsel;
• Don’t worry that  Mueller and his team have Democrat political leanings;
• Don’t worry that he’s a best friend of fired FBI director James Comey;
• Don’t worry that Comey admitted to conspiring to get special counsel appointed;
• Don’t worry that there are obvious conflicts of interest.

The Attorney General establishes jurisdiction within which a special counsel must work. If this isn’t a witch hunt, jurisdiction should start when Trump announced candidacy.

Stay out of his personal and business life before that. In the interest of enforcing that boundary, pay the special counsel and team $1/year, as incentive to wrap it up.

(Don’t worry about the low pay…we’re sure they’re on somebody else’s payroll.)

Remember, do-nothing Republicans can be recalled, through pre-election primaries.

Reports note Mueller is going back decades investigating Trump’s past Russian links.

Why?

Obama wasn’t investigated for his communist links, and no mention of it was allowed.

Witch-hunt that it may be, if such an investigation is allowed to go forward then it should be in the context of Trump’s official entry into the political arena, not the years before.

Any efforts beyond that context empirically support the Witch Hunt claim.

Stop referring to spiking health care costs, from premiums to deductibles to co-pays, as an ‘out-of-control’ situation…rising costs are designed-in features of Obamacare.

As such, rising costs were very much intended, controlled…by Democrats.

They wanted single-payer, couldn’t get it all at once, so set up O’care as a first step that would tip the system into that final objective, when the inevitable ‘cost’ fix was needed…

…and fat-cat insurance companies are happy to get a forced-market handed to them.

Their real problem?

The system was set to fail, then ‘fixed’ w-single-payer, by a Democrat president.

The November election upset and their subsequent hysteria has a lot to do with how a lot of elected Democrats are now in a potential quicksand of Obamacare failure.

Watching the President during his lunch meeting with GOP senators and how he’s the only one pushing the highlights of the Republican health plan, it dawns on us…

…we’re watching how a 3rd Party President can work the room.

Prediction: if congressional Republicans don’t get on the page, a 3rd party is coming.

Uncooperative Republicans are giving it life…

…and President Trump is showing how it’s done.

If you live in California, you’re aware of the new gas taxes due to hit in months.

You might also be aware there’s a recall backlash that resulted.

But, are you aware last month the Democrat legislature changed the recall process?

The First Amendment guarantees the right to “…petition the government for a redress of grievances”…so, what does one do when state legislators make that impossible?

Is there a constitutional lawyer in the house?

The amazing thing to watch is how, in the face of election gains in 2010, 2012, 2014, 2016, and every special election since November, Republicans still lack a group spine.

And, for what? To enact more ‘less bad’ laws to fix atrocious law?

Free-market capitalism has made this Nation the greatest to ever stride the globe.

We understand sometimes it’s necessary to mud-wrestle a pig, but when the pig’s mired in Socialist mud, what’s hard about standing back and letting a free-market wrestle it?

Good news for the GOP, they don’t need much spine to make it happen.

But…SOME would be good.

C’mon, congressional Republicans, give it a shot.

Hey, if it doesn’t work, do what everyone else does…

…blame it on Rush Limbaugh.
